first off, if ur 3 weeks into flowering, u shouldnt really be bending ur plant, i know u probably didnt foresee this happening, but just so u know.
Also, since ur in flowering, that MAY have stressed ur plant enough to kill it, if its really burnt that bad, I dunno what to say.. I mean , I guess u could try topping the top cola if its really bad, but that may slow ur grow down alot for a couple weeks, or worse.

that sucks, but if its really really bad, I mean , its not really worth keeping that top cola on there, it will prolly be more of a hinderance to ur plant than taking it off of it. I've never had to do this to a plant that was already a month into flowering.. so im really not 100% on that, but like I said, keeping a really badly burnt cola may be worse than topping it.

well i understand that i shouldnt be bending or stressing the plant at this stage but the problem has arised and i had to do somthing to keep this problem under control. the cola was young so i topped the cola off. also im still waiting on an answer to the question of if the other nodes will benifit from this "topping"

Yes, your lower buds will benefit from the extra light. But topping at this late stage was not really advisable. Now, your plant will focus on repairing the damage instead of flowering, and there is a chance that topping stressed the plant to the point of creating a hermaphrodite. Good luck, and keep us posted.

:peace:
